Hey, your post made me wonder if since we all cope with our sitch in different ways, maybe your focus on the legal process of divorce and being in war mode allows you to suppress the hurt and disappointment that we all feel.

But I agree with Pup, you already know what she's up to. She doesn't need to admit anything.

Also, personally I think that you should not expose to extended family etc. I feel it will backfire and make you look bitter. Someone once told me a saying: It's not the situation, its your reaction to the situation, Strange enough, if your reaction is not of the best its funny that you will end up looking like the bad guy. IMHO.

Hey, by the way, it seems like I do need your expertise though on how to get evidence to prove adultery.
Yeah my W has taken a lot of things for granted. We all do sometimes. Right now she is in la-la land so trying to argue with her seems futile.

My IC told me that she believed my obsessive documentation/legal preparations was probably hiding that much pain. Since I've backed off the preparations I've been feeling a lot more of the hurt/sadness/nostalgia. It has made it difficult to maintain my composure and steadfast desire to dominate her legally - but I just have to remind myself of what she tried to do to me.

And yes... I know she is having an A, she knows she is having an A - I'm just the type of person that expects honesty.

I agree with you that I should continue taking the high road. The temptation is there to go scorched earth on her as well, since that is what she has attempted with me.

I also replied in your thread. Hope my advice helps.
